Making t-shirts look smart

Other than polos, t-shirts tend to look shabby on me. How do I make them look smarter? - Vikrant, Delhi

I love wearing t-shirts, but with the exception of polo necks, t-shirts look pretty shabby on me. Can you suggest ways of making them look better? And where can I buy some good ones? – Vikrant, Delhi

Dear Vikrant,

Why don't you pick up on the current trend of denim shirts? You could try wearing a tee under the shirt, with the shirt acting like a jacket. Another option would be to try wearing a tee paired with a thin cotton scarf.

Ensure you pick a tee that's well fitted; even t-shirts can have good tailoring. The Zara men's line has great lightweight tees in neon colours that are a hit this season. Try pairing them with a pair of denims that are turned up and a pair of coloured loafers.
